My name is Drew and i am the drummer of perth metal band Fractious. We released our first cd 'Change is the catalyst' last year and u can hear some of the songs off it on the bands myspace page. We are half way through our second album as we speak, recording it at our new studio. Also recently formed a new band called Odium where im playing guitar and some demos will be up soon. I have been playing guitar for 13 years and drums for about 8, music is pretty much all i do besides gym and sleeping! Any spare time i have is spent on writing my own stuff.
My kit consists of:
8" + 10" roto toms
10" + 12" tama timbales
8", 10", 12", 14", 16" Yamaha oak toms
2 x 22" bass drums
pearl eliminator pedals
12" mini china
mounted tambourine
14" paiste alpha hats
16" paiste crash
16" zildjian crash
10" sabian AAX splash
8" zildjian K custom splash
10" max stax
6" zil bel
16" Z custom crash
16" sabian crash
22" sabian neil peart paragon ride
14" zildjian hats
20" sabian china
And ever increasing that is when i have money to spend on it.
Bee is turning 30......so its time to celebrate.....so if your in the Perth vicinity head out to the Amplifier Bar on the 10th from 8pm onwards, tickets are $10 but there are 4 bands playing and Bee will be hosting http://www.tattooink.tv live from the venue.
So if you've got tats, are a character, are in a band, like having fun and wanna run amuk make sure you head down!
hi! iam wolfgang the guitarist of dreamscape. we should learn to be the best persons we can be and our world will change. i try. but it's not as easy as playing guitar in a high class band...
H. Jackson Brown: Good character is more to be praised than outstanding talent. Most talents are, to some extent, a gift. Good character, by contrast, is not given to us. We have to build it, piece by piece -- by thought, choice, courage, and determination.
kind regards! DREAMSCAPE (progressive metal from germany) (new cd september 2009! - buy or let die!)
you still using the pearl elims? they're probably the easiest pedal to heel-toe, but if you have a strange pedal/beater angle, it can stop the action. if you put the beater to around 45 degrees or a bit less, the pearls have the amazing feel on the heel plate that feels really nice (had a go on the dude from malignant monster's and they felt absolutely lovely). heel-toe is really easy, but you need a dude to sit next to you for ten minutes teaching you the trick to it - wish someone taught me, it took me ages to get it!
Hey Drew. Thanks for responding to our current Friends drive and adding Bands@Manjimup. We are doing this because we have a few really exciting events coming up like our recent concert, on Friday 20th, featuring Elora Danan (photo below) on their debut album tour, Manji prog rock band Ashoka and Perth ambient rockers Laced Affair. It was a high energy show with fantastic sound, and those who came got to meet the bands for more than an hour afterwards. The pictures are now up as a slideshow. Check them out at the top of our profile.
Next, we'll be hosting the biggest regional event in this year's WAMi Festival calendar, on 22nd May. The support acts: Abbe May, Sneaky Weasel Gang, Desert Radio and Ashoka. The headline is now definitely CALERWAY. Following day Abbe (songwriting) , Drew Goddart (guitar) from Karnivool, Roy Martinez (bass) and Nick Johnson (drum tuning, cymbal selection and kit set-up) from Eskimo Joe will feature as lecturers in our B@M Youth Muso Workshops.
The June gig will feature an even bigger headline band, probably supported by local heroes Ashoka and Electrostatik.
We'll keep you updated with bulletins and you may want to tap into the bands listed on our Top 40. You'll always find the performers at our next gig right up the top. At the other end you'll find bands that have recently played, followed by acts, who want to play at B@M. Send us a comment if you like them and they maybe get the go.
Lastly: PLEASE VOTE AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING! It prevents proper FX lighting at outdoors concerts before 9pm in summer. Especially for support bands. It’s gotta go!!! Peace, The Terminator
We have just posted a brand new track up on our page.
It's from our upcoming album 'AVALON', due out nationally on September 12 through Firestarter Music. Signed copies of the album are available for pre-order now!
